This is Clementine

Or at least it will be a version of Clementine the cat.

This is the initial drawing with colors quickly filled. I will rework the colors as the painting progresses.

In the Pink or on the pink

I'm working on a pink version of the orange colored recliner in our living room. I'm trying to figure out what object to put on the seat or one of the arm rests and so for I haven't come up with anything.

I’m thinking of adding this to a series of the same chair in different colors and poses or various kinds of chairs.

The actual chair is orange. I chose to do a pink version with some other unnatural colors surrounding it.

How I start a picture

I thought I would show a picture of how I start a digital painting.

I start out by drawing black outlines of objects and shapes in the picture then quickly add flat colors to the shapes. These colors are starting points that I will add textures to and change colors by painting over them or refilling them with other colors.

A Bakersfield Hills painting progress 4

I made a few color changes to this painting yesterday morning as you can see in the before and after pictures. I rather like both versions which presents a slight dilemma. Which one to keep? Or is it finished?

Before changing a few of the colors in the pyramid hill, deep shadow at the bottom of the hill and some of the oranges in hill and above to the right.

Tools: Galaxy Tab S7

When it comes to digital work I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 tablet with S-Pen. I use Infinite Painter for Android by Infinite Studio. I also have a vector app called Infinite Designer also by Infinite Studio but I don’t use it much these days except for the occasional quick idea drawing.

Galaxy Tab S7 with S-Pen. I have the Infinite Painter launch screen open that allows me to choose current and recent projects I have been working on. From here I can also see past projects and create a new project.

My First Digital Drawing

I think this is my first digital drawing. It was created on my first Galaxy tablet. I used the Sketchbook Pro for Android app. The scene is a view across the street from my doctor office. I was waiting for an appointment to start and decided to do something creative while waiting.

More portrait work

I felt like I was a bit too tight in my rendering with the clowning fish piece so I tried working looser with this one. I used the pencil brushes and watercolor brush I normally use and several paint brushes that I haven't use before. There are a lot of brushes to choose from in Infinite Painter and there is plenty of room for experimenting and exploration.

Clowning a Fish

I found several images of fish on the web and this one seemed to fit the bill. The image here is in process.
